Hot-linking eBayer gets Boned
Friday, June 6th, 2008
It was with much annoyance that Dan and I found out that some crafty, iPhone-flogging eBayer in Australia has been hot-linking to our images here at Flop Ya Mac Out, in a bid to brighten up his eBay page.
Sure, we may glean the odd photo here and there off Google Images ourselves, but we feel there is a distinction between doing this, and free-loading on someone’s bandwidth for profit, without asking.

We meditated over this for a while, and then formulated the perfect plan.
Amidst fits of giggling, we sourced some suitably appropriate ‘equivalent images,’ (we decided against hardcore porn after much debate), uploaded them to our server, and then let them fly.
Better still, once eBay pages are submitted, the code can’t be changed! We hope they’ll sway perspective buyers even more so now than before, but see what you think.
Results follow:


Brings new meaning to Virgin Mobile, no? A cheeky lesson learnt, but one he’ll never forget.
Just a note to let ya know that fymo 12 will be recorded this Friday, rather than tonight. Jason is fronting up to his best mates sisters life drawing exhibition tonight, and well, ya know what he’s like about porn and the like. If it’s free, even better. We’ll talk soon!
